I feel like I have no privacy around my dad. My dad wants to

Tough being a teen at times. Remember there are so many kids now days that have parents that don't care one way or another. Here's a fact, and you might be able to look it up on the net. Many schools across the USA hand out polls to their students. One of the biggest answers on the poll from teens is, "I wish my parents took more of an interest in my life". That's a fact. Then of course there are parents like your dad I'm guessing that are to controlling. It's difficult to find a happy medium for many parents and families. I used to tell mine, "If I didn't care or love you, I wouldn't ask". As I said first, it's tough being a teen at times. Well it's tough being a parent also. A parent always worries. A parent can't get out of their mind, the worst things can happen. My dad was a true Narcissist. On top of that he was also a social alcoholic. He drank at home, maybe a glass of wine five times in my life. But he stopped at a bar everyday after work, and came home mean, often. I was told by my stepmom, always tell one of them where I was going, no matter what. My dad would usually say, "I don't give a d*@m I'm watching the show. Or, I'm watching the God-d*^m show, be quiet". He never asked where I was, even at a very young age. He never wanted to know if I had a good time etc. Most days I heard him say, Morning, bye, hi and night, after I said those words first. If I never said anything, he didn't either. Of course he had massive anger issues and needed a whipping boy to scream at. So there could be a lot of yelling from him. My point in this is, your dad does care. It's hard on you both. Plus it's difficult for a parent to see their child grow up. I can't make excuses for your dad. And I am sure it's hard to live there and be subjected to his questioning. But there are two sides. And both can be good and bad at times. No matter what is said and done, remember you do have a dad. Far from perfect, but he's there. Many kids don't even have one parent. My mom left me in a motel and walked away. I was about 16 months old. I never knew her. Good or bad, as a kid you think about that often. He is over bearing I'm sure. And it isn't easy for you. But your dad is there. And does care in is own way. I just want you to see the whole picture. As they say, be careful what you wish for......
